nitude, 80 also have grown the ornaments
OF Europe and the art Of gun manufacture
which now seems to have reached
point beyond which II is not likely
to much further go. AS armor has
become thicker and stronger, the guns to
pierce It have been made more powerful
until tho fight between the two may be said
to be drawn brittle. The improvements In
artillery and the enormous Increase In the
size and power OF guns have also 30 vastly
swelled the cost OF war that there is, per-
hape, reason to hope that we are approach
ing a time when nations. discarding the
armaments under whose expense they now
groan, will resort to a less savage method OF
settling their disputes.
But KRUPP was something more than
manufacturer of weapons OF destruction.
He was great social organizer and verita-
BILE philapthropist, besides being one OF the
largest producers In the world OF peaceful
implements Of industry. He had built
around Essen 1000 family dwellings for
his workmen, in which four times as
many individuals lived, and, besides, board
ing houses for 1000 unmarried workmen.
These are situated on wide, well-kept,

store, all built by KRUPP for the benefit OF
his workmen, for whom there Is "sick and
pensions fund.-" made up by fees paid by
them In proportion to their wages. There Is
also life insurance union. and there are
beer shops gymnasiums, and other provis-
ions for the entertainment and amusement
Of the vast colony.

mon, they would not vote for him when he
was candidate for the German Parliament.
They defeated him in favor Of q Social DEM

city of Pullman, near Chicago, they wanted
to have society constructed according to
their own notions. and not according to the
notions Of their employer.

Tho Real Difficulty Of the Labor
Problem.

The strike Of the engineers and fremen on
the Brooklyn Elevated Railroad seems likely
to fail, lust as that Of the conductors and
drivers on the Third avenue surface railroad
In this city failed a year ago. and for the
same reason. The company Is able to I'LL
the places OF the strikers from among the
great army Of the unemployed. 1t does not,
to be sure, get so good men as 1t had before.
but 1t gets men good enough to answer it's
purpose temporarily, and, by gradually
wedding out the less competent, 1t will In the
end be as well supplied as ever.
This experience, so often repeated. demon
strates the real difficulty Of the labor prob
lem. 1t is not 80 much how to secure high
wages and short hours Of work, as 1t Is to
get work and wages Of any kind for the
entire body of workingmen. Obviously, II
all workingmen were fully employed and
there were no surplus of them idle, strikes
would always succeed. Employers would
have to yield or 60 out Of business. AS it is,
they do yield in cases where the strikers en-
brace the whole, or nearly the whole, OF the
men competent to do the kind Of work they
are engaged in. and they only prevail where
they find recruits from the outside
That the leaders among tho workingmen
are fully awake to the seriousness OF this
difficulty Is apparent from their proposition
to forbid the immigration OF foreign workers
and to limit the number OF natives who shall
femeny wuu1u unfy -p.a~A.Ahls-- snrt Of
porary. The native population Of the coun-
try is increasing under the impulse Of q
force too mighty to be repressed by human
efforts, and the rising generation will strug-
gle for the opportunity to gain its liveli-
hood as desperately as all living things
struggle for their existence. The incoming
tide of human beings cannot be swept back
by any broom OF legislation. The only thing
to be done Is to make place for 1t.
An increase of employment is therefore
what the workingmen must strive for in
order to effect real and permanent i'm
provement In their condition. It being
impossible to restrict the supply Of labor,
the demand for 1t must be enlarged. Labor
must combine with capital to create new
Industries and to extend those already In
existence. Whether the natural antago-
nisms between the sellers and tho buyers
Of labor can be 80 far overcome as to bring
them into harmonious action for their mu-
tual benefit Is question. but without such a
combination the labor problem can never DO
satisfactorily solved.

Krupp, the Great Gun Founder.

II we were to undertake to give anything
like an adequate account OF the career Of
ALFRED KRUPP, who died at Essen last
Thursday at the age Of seventy-five years,
we should have to write history of modern
gun making and the development of the
prodigious armaments OF modern Europe.
There Is hardly name, whether Of monarch,
General, or statesman. which Is moro In
timately associated than his with the war
fare Of this generation.
When, In l84s, KRUPP entered upon the
charge Of the works at Essen. founded by
his father In 1910, the cannon In use were
smoothbores Of cast iron or bronze, and 1t is
since that day that we have obtained nearly
oil the accurate knowledge yet acquired as
to tho true action of gunpowder. 1t Is true
that In ls48 Sandman officer had
invented cast-iron rifled pieces, loaded at
the breech. and that the practicability Of
applying tho rifle principle to cannon had
been demonstrated; but the new weapons
did not actually prove their advantage In
war until they were introduced by LOUIS
NAPOLEON In the Italian campaign. Then
followed the period OF rifles and OF steel and
wrought iron for guns smoothboreS having
now been superseded by rifles in almost every
other nation Of the world except our own.
When came the interminable contest be-
tween guns and armor, brought about by the
Introduction Of iron-plated ships Of war and
armored Notifications, KRUPP kept steadi-
ly in line with tho progress in artillery and
was 70: smost IN pushing forward the i'm
provemonus. His guns have been truly
described as "the pioneers along the path Of
progress" He employed nothing but steel
In their manufacture, whose processes have
boen steadily improved. They are. as 1t Ia
well known, of the breech-loading system,
the most important detail In which, an
efficient and durable gas check. he obtained
by the adoption OF an invention OF our Coun-
tryman, BRoApwELL. OF these cannon the
kRUPP foundry has turned out more than
1900. and they are more extensively used
than any others, while it Is probably safe to
say that the prcponderance OF expert opinion
is that they are the best in the world. They
range from light cannon up to the heaviest
OF modern ordnance. throwing projectiles
ton In weight.
When KRUPP took control OF the Essen
works in 1913 they employed only three
workmen; at the time OF his death tho num-
Dor OF hands was about 10000. they, with
their families. comprising toward 10000
souls. As that gun foundry-by far the
greatest In the world-has increased In mag
